Episode Summary:
It is sad to say, but our current healthcare system tends to focus on big pharma, keeping our patients sick and feeding everyone the same information. Dr. Pedram Shojai saw this lack of knowledge in the filed and said enough is enough. Since then, he has written multiple books, produced many films and works as an advocate for anybody who needs a change in the operating system and wants to think more clearly about how they view health on a day to day basis.
Well versed on topics ranging from kung-fu, Buddhism and the importance of our gut health, Dr. Shojai is a wealth of knowledge and an inspiration for anyone looking to change gears towards your health. Today we are diving into how to live life with intention, focus on your internal wellbeing, and explore the hidden secrets of your microbiome.

Quotes:
“I’m wanting to eradicate illness, and all I’m paid for, is frankly, to be honest, there are no incentives to even keeping people well because the money is all in treating sick people, right?” (6:29)
“Oh my God, who the hell wants to be normal!? Normal gets sick, normal has chronic disease, normal is being told what to wear by the Kardashians. Normal is not normal, right? Normal has become zombies in this world that we live in. So if you are trying to be normal you might as well check yourself in and get a hospital bed” (19:57)
“The answer isn’t probiotics, it’s to live probiotically, and its so hard to get through our thick skulls because we have been so trained to be like, ‘Okay, what’s the pill?’” (27:16)
“Cancer is cancer and it sucks. But then you start looking at the psychology of the person who says that, and you start looking at the toxicity levels in the microbiome, and then just the psyche that starts to develop around somebody who goes toxic, stays toxic, and instead of trying to heal themselves sort of leans into it.” (36:27)
